Christmas Morning Roombox
Merry Christmas! It's the morning of the 25th in my newest dollhouse roombox. Let me set the scene, the mini homeowners have been waiting for months to have their kitchen back after a big renovation. They are just about to sit down and eat a delicious spread. Do you have any Christmas morning traditions? We always make a point of sitting and eating together after opening gifts.

Autumn Gathering
Hello Fall! I'm celebrating the season in my dining roombox this week with Hobby Builders Supply and miniatures.com. Today is Thanksgiving Monday here in Canada and this weekend has been all about food, family, and the outdoors. It's been surprisingly warm for this time of year so we've been getting outside to enjoy the fall colours.
A fall miniature dining room scene has been on my wishlist for a long time now. I focused on an autumn colour palette with warm wood and gold accents, and lots of beautiful florals. This scene takes place in the afternoon, just before everyone arrives. The table is set and the food has yet to be brought out. It's the anticipation of what's to come.
The lighting is a bit moody for this one, and I love it! It's a very "Paper Doll Miniatures" scene and style.
You might remember this roombox from my spring scene I did with HBS in the past. It's dimensions can be a challenge because it's so deep, but I think this time I managed to bring the space together and fill it nicely with the fireplace and the larger table. There are a lot of DIY elements in this room and I'll be sharing them below.
Now let's get to the minis! Everything is linked at the bottom of the post. I have so many favourite things in this scene. The Colonial Windsor Bench set the tone for the entire project. It's warm wood matched perfectly with the gold accents. I decided to give it it's own corner with the single Floral Arrangement Framed Print above.
Obviously the biggest item in the room is the table. It's made with these 2.5 inch Legs and 1/8 sheets of basswood. I'm so happy to finally have a large dining table to stage for all my future scenes. Here's a look at the construction:
I set the table with a mix of dishes and glasses. The Silverware, White Dinner Plates, and Crystal Bowls were great layering items. I always like glass in my scenes to give that ertheral quality when the light hits it.
I reached out of Michelle of Tiny Naturals on Etsy to make me the centrepiece for the project. It matches beautifully with the wreaths she created last year for my bungalow front doors. It brings in that needed pop of colour and adds a bit more luxury to the scene. I always love everything she makes! The napkins are ribbon pieces, and the tall wine glasses have been in my collection for years. The chairs are Chysonbon kits I had as well, perfect for the new table.

Bungalow Dollhouse: Summer
Season number 3! My seasonal bungalow dollhouse is enjoying the last few days of summer. I finished the gardens and switched up the grass for the change in season. I'm very happy with how all the flowers and plants came together, it was a mix from talented artisans and a few I made myself. If you missed the previous posts about this dollhouse, you can find them here.
